Delirious Night

Nine performers surrender themselves to an ecstatic night filled with dance and music

The night turns into a delirious celebration. It can be a delightful and enjoyable zone, but sometimes also a bewildering and dangerous one. A group of nine performers surrender their bodies to a delirious night of dance and music. Inspired by the freedom of masquerade balls, dancing manias and estranged carnivals, their bodies are propelled by contagious outbreaks of unstoppable and rebellious dance. Oscillating between hedonism and exorcism, joy and sadness, these bodies thrive in an intoxicating mood of collectivity.
